At the FAD 2017 event, AMD representatives admitted to analysts that Vegas accelerators will be finally presented in the second half of June. Game video cards, will show on May, 31st.

There is no doubt that Radeon RX Vega will be released this year, as on the presentation slides this game solution was related to the products of 2017. Interestingly, anticipating Raji Koduri's performance at FAD 2017, followed by a coffee break, CEO Lisa Su promised that "intellectual property" of AMD in graphics related to Vega will prove itself in all market segments as in 2017, and at the beginning of 2018. Given that the hybrid Raven Ridge processors will receive the graphics system Vega generation this year, one can only guess which segment this architecture will prove to be at the beginning of next year. As we could understand from numerous slides with calls to raise the rate of profit, Vega will not strive for affordable price niches even in 2018.

Lisa Su also explained that, following the example of Zen processor architecture, the Vega was designed with a "safety margin" for the next two years. At least with the types of computational loads that are relevant in this period, this graphic architecture must cope without problems.

Raja Koduri, in turn, explained that the final configuration of Vega GPUs at the early configuration stage was discussed by the company specialists two and a half years ago, and then it was decided that the graphics solutions of the corresponding generation should work without problems in games with a resolution of 4K at The refresh rate is 60 Hz. By the way, to the development of Navi and its follower, which should appear by 2020, AMD engineers have already started.
